Australia's cricket bad boy Andrew Symonds has starred as his team beat Pakistan in the second one day international in Dubai.
All-rounder Andrew Symonds rediscovered his form with a match-winning 58 from 62 balls to help Australia reach 4-208 in 45.1 overs, chasing Pakistan's 207 all out.
It came after he had taken two wickets in as many balls near the tail-end of Pakistan's innings to curtail a barrage of late hitting which threatened to set up a much bigger run-chase.
Symonds' innings was extremely timely for his career prospects, which had flagged since he was banished from the national team in Darwin last August, when he went fishing instead of attending a team meeting.
The next match is on Monday in Abu Dhabi.
